No amount of economic bailouts will apparently be enough to save Wavexpress' TVTonic portal, as President Michael Sprague announced today that the service is coming down so the company can restructure. If you're currently using it to subscribe to video podcast RSS feeds to their PC / media center, don't worry, thing will continue to function but everyone else can go ahead and punch the uninstall button because it's gone, man. Goodbye TVTonic, we'll always have Beijing.

We've got this sneaking suspicion that we'll be forced to digest bucketfuls of Olympics news as the run-up to August continues, and Wavexpress is making sure our thoughts are accurate. Said outfit has just announced a partnership with NBC that will see the former "develop, host and support a service for viewing NBC's coverage of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games in Microsoft's Windows Vista Media Center." The NBC Olympics on the Go will utilize Wavexpress' TVTonic internet video application to enable Media Center users to "watch channels of NBC's coverage of Olympic events in up-to-HD quality on the go on their laptop." As expected, the service will be free to all who choose to take advantage, but this time you'll actually need to download the TVTonic application (versus just logging in via the web portal).

Good news for folks hankering to get a load of ON Networks' Draftguys TV (in HD) without forking out for an Apple TV -- the channel, alongside Play Value, has just launched on TVTonic. For those unaware, the aforementioned website provides free online TV, some of which is shown in high-definition. Thanks to another recent partnership between it and GTtv, Invisible Walls has also joined the fray, though it's currently being beamed in lowly SD. Ready to dive in? Scoot on over to its website and take a look.

Heads-up, TVTonic viewers -- your favorite internet TV portal just got a touch more appealing, as it landed an agreement with ON Networks to acquire five new HD channels. Among the newcomers are Golf Tips with Joe Beck, On Dating, The Parent Code, Backpack Picnic and Bif! Bam! Pow! Wow!. For those interested in taking TVTonic for a spin now that HD programming is on tap, you can surf on over to its website or install the application for free on any PC running Windows Media Center, XP or Vista.
